1x1? (Ded. Lit. Mat.)

"You...I'm not sure. It always changes." Vidia glanced up. There was a rope hanging down, but it was only half-way to the ground, and the Divide was so high.... It seemed like a challenge. "We go up," she sighed.

She glared at him. "Alright then." She backed up to get a running start, then felt her feet slapping against the wall. All the while she kept her eyes trained on the end of the rope. Her hands reached out, at last, and she barely skimmed it before falling back down, landing hard on her feet.

"The point is," she said through the pain, "It's possible. I'll try again."

Seth paused and looked up at the rope before randomly leaping onto her back and pushing of from there. He got some momentum from the wall and barely just grabbed the rope. He was dangling from it, just barely. He climbed up slightly, but kept his legs hanging down. "Jump on my legs, and climb up."

"It's a long way down, but it was a long way up too," she said. "I guess...I don't think we'll die from jumping. Maybe get hurt, but....we heal pretty fast." She didn't want to think about the pain, she just wanted to get it over with.

Suddenly Vidia felt stupid. "Or we could just grab the rope and throw it over this way." She grinned sheepishly at Seth, for once the one who wasn't thinking like a robot. "Help me?" she asked, tugging at the rope with both hands while trying to maintain her balance. It would suck to fall now.
